The public hears from time to time about expensive
dinners that are given by wealthy men. General

r. NJ. Bosler, Of Pennsylvania, and A. ID. Swan, of
Montana both OF whom are extensive cattle growers,
have been in New-York for several days. They gave
some points last night about the cattle business which

yearolds. Then drove them up across the Govern
ern country where after couple of years feeding
the Juicy grasses they became properly fatted for the
market As the country settled up the States began
to pass quarantine laws which have prevented cattle
from being driven up. You know there great
discussion about the establishing of National Cattle
Trail 1t might have been established years ago but
was neglected until the country got too tbickly
settled The Texas people are shut OIL from dsposing
